New York City 2010

Crazy Times Square.

Despite my recent unemployment, I still went on the New York City trip I had planned and had an airplane ticket bought back in March. I had a fantastic time! Exhausting of course. I tried to fill every hour with something so it all felt worth it. My first day there, I was awake for 23 hours because I had to get up at 2:30am to catch my first flight. One must experience the night life (comedy clubs, in my case) when in NYC!

My first day, I went to the Museum of Sex. Very fun and informative! Went to the Broadway Comedy Club that night. My first day, and I saw a 3-legged dog, tons of people wearing leggings (ew!), street and subway performers, and a girl named “Bermuda”. Second day, I took a bus tour and later visited the King Tut exhibit. I was mad because it appeared his mummy would be there – but it was a replica! Lame! Still cool to see all the real artifacts. Walked up and down Christopher Street, but sadly did not see any drag queens. :( Plenty of gays though (or Europeans, it’s hard to tell). Haha! Went to the Comedy Cellar that night.

Love the hilarious subway performers.

Naughty Picasso! I approve.

Third day, I took another part of the bus tour. Went to the Central Park Zoo, which was cute. Had my hot dog from a vendor in Central Park! It’s just not a visit without doing that. Then I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Amazing! There was a big Picasso exhibit, which was quite enlightening. Turns out he was a dirty, dirty man, which I very much enjoy. ;) It’s like he knew me! While at the museum, I had to check out the arms and armor room (gorgeous), as well as the real Roman statues and Greek art. And of course, I would find pieces of art that I don’t think were meant to be dirty, but I found them dirty. Especially fun among the religious art. Comedy Cellar again that night to see Dave Attell, who I have seen on every trip now!

Lots of pics and a couple videos on my Flickr!
